Ahh the old regurge scenario
Provide some fresh drinking water and I'd leave alone for at least five days before offering a reg size pink.

Here's my take on regurge.......
I think the key is not to try push feed them in thier first 6-12 months of life,especially were larger feed items are concerned.

From past(bad)experiences I now only feed my hatch on pinks for the first 6-8 months,starting with one mouse pink and increasing the amount of pinks,but never the size.Usually around 8/9 months old I tend to increase the food size BUT will use rat pups before I try fuzzies.This way it allows the animal to hold down a larger food item before the sudden intro of furred food, i.e fuzzies/fluffs.I find once they've taken rat pups for a while the fuzzie/fluffs are no problems for them.
